Music Commentary--Creative Writing--Cultural Hilarity





"What if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles?"--Neil Postman

This Forgetting Not To Grow Up

To lie sleepless with the ferment of joyful thoughts


Like it never happened

Settling is just another word for everything left to lose,

A manifesto about the future

That you discover

when you stand still.

You roll over, asking for the remote control.

Surfing for Leno, Jon Stewart, the Home Shopping Network.

A fractured montage--

A quality of being thrown together

Like strange names at railway stations through the night.
